Air Valves
APCO Combination Air Valves (Model 143 C & 1800 Shown)
APCO Air Release Valves (Model 200 A, 55 & 50 Shown) Air Release Valves function to release air pockets that collect at each high point of a pressured pipeline. Air Release Valves can open against internal pressure, because the internal lever mechanism multiplies the float force to be greater than the internal pressure. This greater force opens the orifice whenever air pockets collect in the valve. Air Release Valves are essential for pipeline efficiency and water hammer protection.
Combines the features of Air/Vacuum Valves and Air Release Valves. These valves are also called Double Orifice Air Valves. These valves are installed on all high points of a system where it has been determined dual function Air/Vacuum and Air Release Valves are needed to release air and also protect a pipeline from vacuum. Combination Air Valves are available in 2 body styles - 1) single body combination or 2) custom built combination with two bodies. The single body combination is used where compactness is preferred. Generally, it is sound engineering practice to use Combination Air Valves instead of simple purpose Air/ Vacuum Valves. Size Range: 1 - 36"
Size Range: 1/2 - 6"
APCO Air/Vacuum Valves (Model 150 & 142 Shown) Air/Vacuum Valves are float operated, having a large discharge orifice, equal in size to the valves inlet. Air/Vacuum valves allow large volumes of air to be exhausted from or admitted into a water pipeline as it is being filled or drained. As the pipeline fills, water enters the Air Valve, raises the float and shuts-off. When draining the pipeline, the float drops, allowing air to enter, preventing vacuum, possible pipeline collapse or damaging water column separation. Air & Vacuum Valves are an efficient means to fill and drain pipelines. Size Range: 1/2 - 36" 17
APCO Slow Closing Air and Vacuum Valves (Model 1900 Shown)
APCO Air Release Valves & Air/ Vacuum Valves for Sewage Lines (Model 400, 401, 440 Shown)
Are standard Air/Vacuum Valves mounted on a Surge Check Unit. The Air/Vacuum Valve operates in the normal fashion allowing air to escape freely. The Surge Check is a normally open valve (spring loaded) so that air passes through unrestricted, but when water rushes into the Surge Check Unit the disc closes against the spring and reduces the rate of flow of water into the air valve by means of throttling holes in the disc. This ensures normal gentle closing of the Air/Vacuum Valve and minimizes surges when the valve closes. As soon as the Air/Vacuum Valve is closed, the pressure on both sides of the surge Valve disc equalizes and the disc automatically returns to its open position. This means an Air/Vacuum Valve can open at any time the water level drops and line pressure approaches atmospheric and immediately have full re-entry flow of air into the pipe line before a vacuum can form. Ratings 125# thru 900# class.
Operate same as Air Valves for Water, differing only in appearance with elongated taller bodies. Elongated bodies minimize clogging by permitting use of a much longer float stem, to prevent the sewage from fouling up the mechanism. For ease of maintenance, Flushing Attachments are recommended with the Valves, as shown. When adding Sewage Air Valves to your pipeline, the same criteria applies, as with the standard Air Valves. However, the potential for air entrapped with Sewage pipelines, is even greater than that found in water lines, because Sewage media generates large quantities of gases. Therefore, it is recommended each high point be protected with an automatic Sewage Air Release Valve.

Air Valves
APCO Syphon Air Valve (Make and Break) (Model 5200 Shown)
APCO Hydraulically Controlled Air/ Vacuum Valves (Model 7000 Shown)
SYPHON AIR VALVES are a unique type of Air/ Vacuum Valve incorporating a paddle which hangs down into the main pipeline flow stream. The valve will allow a syphon flow to be developed and maintained after the pump is stopped. Subsequently should the syphon flow reverse, the paddle swings in reverse causing the port to open and break the syphon. The APCO Syphon Air Valve requires no electrical connections or regular maintenance and is ideally suited for remote outdoor environments. Also in recent years with the emphasis on energy conservation consulting engineers for water and waste water often consider pumping by means of a syphon loop. APCO SYPHON AIR VALVES are ideally suited for this application. Solenoid valves for small diameter syphons or pneumatically operated butterfly valves for large diameter syphons may also be adapted for this application, but installation and maintenance is complicated. For example, power lines and air lines must be installed to operate these valves. An air compressor is also needed.
For positive pipeline protection from damaging pressure surges. The operating principle of this valve is the same as the CONVENTIONAL Air/Vacuum Valve with one exception... Hydraulically Controlled Air/Vacuum Valves slowly close only after spilling a regulated volume of water to prevent a pressure surge. This valve provides excellent pipeline protection against primary and secondary surge pressures which can occur when filling or draining a pipeline. The closing time of this valve is adjustable by means of a hydraulic control system. Ratings 125# and 250# class. Size Range: 4 - 20"
APCO SYPHON AIR VALVES are mechanically operated, requiring no auxiliary power. They merely respond to flow (in either direction) to make the syphon or break it and the maintenance is virtually nil. Size Range: 3 - 16" for syphons up to 60" diameter

APCO Air Valves For Vertical Turbine Pumps with Water Diffuser (Model 140 DAT Shown)
APCO Vacuum Relief/Air Inlet Valves (Model 1500 Shown) Vacuum Relief/Air Inlet Valves are normally closed valves and when the System Pressure becomes Negative -IT OPENS IMMEDIATELY- allowing air into the system to prevent a vacuum forming. When system pressure returns to positive, the Vacuum Relief/Air Inlet Valve closes air tight. Standard Vacuum Relief/Air Inlet Valves are designed to open with a minimal, 1/4 PSI, pressure differential across the orifice. Higher or lower relief settings are available to suit the application. Rated 125# and 250# class. Size Range: 3 - 36"
Air Valves For Vertical Turbine Pumps with Water Diffuser are essential to vent air from the pump column at the point of discharge from the pump (in advance of the pump check valve). Each valve is equipped with a water diffuser which performs like the water bubbler on a water faucet, breaking down the solid destructive column of water into an aerated non-destructive stream of water. Likewise, the surging water entering the Deep Well Air Valve is diffused and broken down into a smooth flowing stream of water. In this manner, positive closure of the vertical turbine air valve without water hammer or damage to the valve pump is accomplished. Additionally, the Double Acting Throttling Device permits regulation of the flow of air escaping from the valve to establish a back pressure, slowing the rising column of water and reducing start up surges. The Double Acting Throttling Device spring loaded mechanism allows full flow air in during draining of the system. This action results in a smoother trouble free operation of the pumping system. Size Range: 1/2 - 6"

Ball and Cone Valves
Automatic Priming Systems
Willamette Ball and Cone Valves (Model 2600 & 2200 Shown)
APCO Automatic Priming Systems
Willamette Ball and Cone Valves have full bore unobstructed waterways resulting in the lowest (negligible) amount of head loss compared to any inline Plug-Gate Butterfly or Check Valve. Both the Ball and Cone valves utilize unique link and lever torque units to permit very controlled opening and closing. These valves are ideally suited for pump stop/start and check service, controlling flow discharge to prevent pressure surges. Also highly recommended for high velocities (above 15 FPS) flow control or buried service with critical isolation applications. Ruggedly designed with metal to metal seating to last for decades. Hundreds still operating satisfactorily for over 40 years. Fully automatic Electric, Hydraulic or Pneumatic operators or Manual Hand Wheel operated. Ratings 125, 150, 300 PSI service. Size Range: 6 - 60"
Automatic Priming Systems maintain the prime on centrifugal pumps (even when the pump is shut down) and automatically keep the pump ready to deliver water. Priming a centrifugal pump means removing air or other gases from waterways of the pump and suction line and replacing air or gas with the liquid to be pumped. The V-APCO Primer automatically stops and starts to maintain vacuum in its tank at all times regardless of whether or not the centrifugal pumps are operating. A vacuum header connects the V-APCO Primer to the centrifugal pumps thru the Priming Valve mounted on each pump. Vacuum in the Primer tank draws air from the pump and suction line via the vacuum header and Priming Valve. Water rises up the suction line and fills the pump. This water does not enter the vacuum header because a float mechanism shuts the Priming Valve when water reaches it. If for any reason the water level in the centrifugal pump drops, the priming valve immediately opens and the vacuum restores the water level. The pumps are thus kept permanently primed.

Other Products and Systems
APCO Pump Protectors (Model 2123 Shown) Pump Protectors consist of an Air Release Valve (for water or sewage) and a Water-Level Control Switch, shipped completely assembled as shown. The Water-Level Control Switch will shut-off the pump upon loss of prime and prevent the pump running dry. This protects against pump burn out and costly repair bills. It may be wired to a horn or warning light to give immediate warning that the pump has been shut down. The Air Release Valve exhausts air that collects in the pump, allowing it to fill with liquid and insures maximum pump efficiency. Pump Protectors are an inexpensive way to protect very expensive Centrifugal Pumps from damage, due to loss of prime for any reason. Size Range: 1" & 2" NPT
APCO Full Flow Foot Valves (Model 1400 Shown) Full Flow Foot Valves are a form of check valve, installed at the bottom of Pump suction line, inside the wet well. Foot valves are an inexpensive way to maintain prime on a single centrifugal pump. The Foot Valve is designed with a 10% larger flow area (including heavy stainless steel strainer) than the pipe size to insure minimal head loss. Since Foot Valves are continually submerged in the wet well and not readily accessible for inspection or repair, it is important to select a Foot Valve of high quality long wearing construction. APCO Foot Valves are such valves and have heavy cast iron bodies, rugged bronze internals and most importantly they have drop tight resilient seating to guarantee no loss of suction. The resilient seal is compression molded (not glued or chemically bonded) onto the seat for long life. Ratings 125# and 250# class Size Range: 3 - 36" 22
APCO Surge Relief Valves (Model 3000 Shown) In recent years Pumping Systems have become more complex than ever before. As a result of this complexity, Design Engineers must resort to detailed water hammer and pressure surge analysis to insure the system will not be damaged, due to negative or positive pressure surges. Water Hammer, caused by sudden changes in flow, usually the starting and stopping pumps, but sometimes the opening or closing of a valve. One method, most often used by Engineers to prevent damage to the system, is to spill the media from the system, thereby, dissipating the pressure surges. Typically, for this application, APCO can provide two (2) spilling type Surge Relief Valves, Models 3000 and 6500, and the engineering expertise to insure their proper application. Surge problems should be analyzed from their point of origin, because at this point, they are easiest to control. Size Range: 2 - 30"
